I see what you are saying. You took the post to say that our show lines are in deep trouble because of line breeding. I took it as if the person thought that the reason the dogs bloated because they were n the care of the handler. It only took me 3 days to figure that out :0) Terry who is disappointed in the Superbowl but another rum and coke should fix me up. Congrats to all Steeler fans. May you have 30 more days of ice. :0) --- On Fri, 1/30/09, Pinehillgsds@xxxxxxx <Pinehillgsds@xxxxxxx> wrote: From: Pinehillgsds@xxxxxxx <Pinehillgsds@xxxxxxx> Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: Bloat - how sad is this....

There are sooooooo many pedigrees lately where dogs have bloated/torsioned and lines where it is really a problem doubled and even tripled up on. I'm sorry, but the sentiments wouldn't have even gotten a raised eyebrow from me.
